THE ANARCHISTS PARDON.

The news from Chicago and Springfield,
Illinois, yesterday, is hurtfui to the cause
OF republican government. The press dis.
patches indicate that Governor Oglesby
has succumbed to the intense pressure
brought to bear upon him by a dual force;
the one representing the sentiments of the
condemned men, who expiate their canse
on the ~gallows to-day, and the other by q
body Of towards who plead for mercy in
fear that their property interests will suffer
il the fat OF the law is carried out.
The proposition is q simple one.
Either the condemned men are guilty or
they are innocent. II they are guilty, they
should be punished; if not. they should be
set free. The one who gave the signal for
the beginning of the Haymarket massacre
is as guilty as the man who made the
bombs. There is no line of demarcation.
Policy should not enter into the official
conduct OF an executive who is dealing with
great offenders. Governor Oglesby has for
gotten his oath when he was inducted into
office to maintain the laws of the State
over whose destiny be was chosen to pre-.
side. II the Anarchists have not violated
those laws, in the opinion OF the Governor,
they are guilt!ess; if they have, there
should be no maudlin sentiment
nor any submission to policy.
By an accident Chicago was once eradicat- |
ed from the map OF the United States, yet |
the country responding as a unit made the
present Chicago possible. The men whose
fears made them beg for the lives of these
men are afraid Chicago will again be laid
in ashes-this time by design-by the sur
viving members OF the gang Of tends
that conducted the Haymarket massacre.
Better that the whole State of Illinois
should be wiped from the face OF the earth
than that it should BIZ dominated by q few
irresponsible men. ''Order is Heavens
first law" The rountry's code represents
its legal status. Justice should be omnipo.
tent. Mercy and policy havcno plaza in the
Jurisprudence ofany countryin dealing with
SUCH fiends. The Anarchists were tried in
accordance with law. The highest tribunal!
in the land or in the world indicated the
and the facts as declared in the juGy-
ment rendered in the lower courts. Cover
nor Oglesby has exercised his prerogative,
SAAoS a COAuuIulSC Zig sentence |
